IDAHO ACTIVITY GREAT Mammoth Project Feasible Through Track Agreement With North ern Pacific and Control of Branching Routes. Direct connection between the exist ing lines of the Chicago Northwest ern Railway and the Paclflo Coast through both Portland and Coos Bar Is the gigantic plan undertaken by the directors f that road, who nave sent William A. Gardner, president of the lines, to the Northwest to make im mediate arrangements for beginning construction work. Mr. Gardner. It was reported, waa In Boise and vicinity yesterday and may come to Portland within a week. It is in Idaho that the present activity of the Northwestern Is In progress. It will extend Into Oregon within the present year, is the announcement. The general plan by which the Northwestern will extend Its lines to the Coast coincides with that outlined through The Oregonlan a year ago. However, the relationship recently ef fected with the Northern Pacific pre cludes the necessity of the Northwest ern building a line from Its present terminus at Lander, Wro, but will en able it to connect ita Idaho holdings with a convenient point on the North ern Taclflc main line In Montana, there by forming an Eastern outlet. Oaaeettea Xear Lewtotea. The Western connection to Portland will be formed by a Una to be built along the Salmon River to a point near lewlston. where It will connect with the Northern Pacific and operate over the Camas Prairie line to Pasco, thence over the North Bank tracks to Port land. The Northwestern already owns the Pittsburg St Gllmore road, operating a line between Armstead. Mont, and Sal mon City, Idaho, on the Salmon River. Extension of this line from Salmon City along the Salmon River to Its junction with the Snake River and to a point near Lewlston baa been author ised. Grading between Salmon City and Shoup, a distance of 30 miles, has been completed. An Eastern connection between Arm stead and the Northern Pacific Is pos sible over any one of a number of routes, but engineers have advised President Gardner that the most plaus ible route la that between Armstead and Alder, the southern terminus of a branch road that connects with the main line at Whitehall, a short dis tance east of Butte. Chirac Kaa Cat SO Mile. This route will give the Northern Pacific and Northwestern a line be tween Portland and Chicago more than 300 miles shorter than any existing route. It would provide for the use of the Northwestern tracka between Chicago and St. Paul, over which the Northern Pacific already has a traffic agreement, the Northern Pacific tracks from St. Paul through Whitehall to Alder, Mont, the Pittsburg St Gllmore from Alder to Lewlston. Idaho, the Camaa Prairie branch of the Northern Pacific from Lewlston to Pasco. Wash, and the North Bank road from Pasco to Portland. In this connection the report that the Northern Pacific or the Northwest ern la heavily Interested In the recent real estate activity on the East Side, which Involved valuable terminal sites. Is given added strength. Besides the entrance to Portland the Northwestern la said to be active In the struggle for an entrance to Coos Bay. The Pacific Great Western, which recently announced Its Intention of building a road from Eugene to Coos Bay. is said to be a Northwestern enterprise. The Idaho Northern, otherwise known as the Dewey road, which was owned formerly by the Ore gon Short Line, has gone into the con trol of the Northwestern and will be made a part of the main line to Coos Bay. A contract for construction of an extension of this lino from Emmet along the Tayette River and its tribu taries to the Profile mining district In the Sawtooth Range has been let to the Utah Construction Company. An Eastern outlet to the Pittsburg at Gll more has been surveyed along the mid dle fork of the Salmon River. Miami Territory Vast. Tapping the rich Profile mining dis trict Is to be the principal object of the North western's short cut through Idaho. Mineral-bearing ore of almost Inestimable quantity recently has been opened there. One concern has blocked out 39.000.000 tons of copper-bearing material. There Is a ledice of gold ore ZOO feet In width which will run half an ounce to the ton in free milling metal, besides about III to the ton of smelting ore. Robert 11. Bel I.
